1. References:
a. NAVSUP letter, 4400, 0322A3/0031, 10 November 1987, subject: Proposed
MILSTRIP Change to Message Requisitions, Status, Followups, and Cancellations
(NOTAL) .

b. DoD 4000.25-1-M, 1 May 1987, Military Standard Requisitioning and Issue
Procedures (MILSTRIP).

2. Proposed Change Concept/ Rationale

a. Concept: This proposed change would eliminate the current restrictions
on message requisitions to seven documents or one page, whichever is greater.
Although this limitation has been in MILSTRIP since its inception, there is no
known current logic for the restriction.

b, Rationale: When services are requisitioning from contractors under
interim support agreements, they frequently have to send the requisitions by
commercial means (Western Union) and the limitation of seven documents or one
page greatly increases transmission costs and creates additional workload,

3. Interface/Impact Requirements:

a. Interface: Requires interface between MILSTRIP and Service/Agency
requisition processing activities.

b. Impact: None known, Message requisitions are offline and, therefore,
this change would have no systems impact.

4. Advantages/Disadvantages:

a. Advantages: Reduce time to set up and produce messages, reduce trans~
mission costs, and reduce workload. ag _

b. Disadvantages: None known.

5. Procedures: See attachment 1.
